This book is very readable and reinforced my knowledge of the history of western philosophy. Since I constantly need refreshing on philosophical school of thought, I will refer back to this book from time to time. This book was well worth the money and I'm going to hang onto it.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Dry; doesn't spark passion
*by E***. on December 5, 2014*

The book is organized primarily by topic, such as "How do you know anything exists?" and "What is a logical argument?" This should have been more stimulating than it was. Instead, it bogged down with stuffy, almost academic language that took the joy out of the inquiry. Here's a random sample: "Logic helps us to analyze an argument -- to see its structure, or logical form. We can then assess whether or not the conclusion follows from the premises. An argument is said to be valid when we can deduce [work out] the conclusion from the premises. Such an argument is known as a deductive argument. In a deductive argument, IF the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true. But being able to deduce the conclusion from the premises is not enough to prove that the conclusion is true; it also depends on the content of the argument." (etc.) While it covers the bases in presenting the major themes of philosophical inquiry through the ages, the book reads like a textbook, not like a general-interest book for the curious. The writing is dry, it doesn't convey the passion of philosophy, and the little sidebars and bubbles of info weren't enough to offset the plodding text. I enjoyed its occasional philosopher biographies much more, probably because each individual's life story includes challenges that are more than just academic. This book can't compete with Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy (FSG Classics) -- a much more engaging introduction to the fascinating world of philosophy.
